Innovative Device Bringing Relief to PTSD Victims

VC backed and partnered with an international health-insurance giant.

This week’s startup developed a science-backed, screen-free biofeedback device, already trusted by thousands of users and a Fortune 500 health-insurance giant. They are also partnering with local organizations in Israel to help mitigate PTSD effects for IDF veterans and October 7 victims. 

Company name: Reflect Innovation

Website: meetreflect.com

What they do (in a sentence):
Reflect created the Orb - an innovative, patented device tackling mental health, anxiety and PTSD. 

Why now:

  • Mental health conditions are accelerating worldwide, yet >50 % of those who need care still lack access or avoid therapy due to stigma.

  • Employers and insurers are urgently seeking scalable, cost-effective solutions, while digital therapeutics and personalized, data-driven interventions are gaining mainstream adoption.

  • Advances in compact biosensors and AI allow Reflect to deliver lab-quality insights and adaptive coaching in a mass-market product.

Team highlights:

  • Noga Sapir (co-founder & CEO) - neuroscience & textile-design background. Driven to build Reflect out of her lived experience with anxiety.

  • Ron Sneh (CTO) - 10+ years building hardware–software neurotech platforms; published research on self-regulation and emotional processing.

  • Dr. Michal Gruberger (Chief Scientist) - a leading neuroscientist and neuropsychologist

  • An advisory board of leading clinicians and researchers in biofeedback and behavioral health.

Traction:

  • Over 3000 Reflect Orbs sold D2C; thousands of therapy patients and self-regulating users.

  • Five-year commercial partnership signed with health-insurance giant Cigna Healthcare, opening enterprise healthcare, government, and education channels (initial orders in progress).

  • Product integrated into clinical studies, therapist practices, school resilience programs, and a post-war reservist-reintegration retreat.

Competitive edge/moats:

  • Patented signal-processing algorithms for high-fidelity EDA/ECG in a handheld form factor; multiple design & R&D patents issued in the US, EU, Israel, China, and Japan.

  • Deep clinical integrations and insurer partnerships create high switching costs and proprietary datasets that continuously improve outcomes.

Capital raised: $7M to date
